+ '''āmandō''' (present infinitive āmandāre, perfect active āmandāvī, supine āmandātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+ It is also spelled ''āmendō''.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|ab-|mandō#1|t2=to entrust, commit]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan explains [[m|la|mandō#1|alt=mandō]] as a compound of [[m|la|manus|t=hand]] with the root of “to put”, thus “to put at hand, commit”, matched by an Oscan stem.^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Lewis and Short find it before Augustus only in Cicero, who uses it often, usually with a note of contempt.^(Lewis & Short 1879) In the ''Verrines'' he asks where a man was sent away to, ''āmandat hominem, quō?'', and answers ''Lilybaeum''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Gaffiot 2016)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means to send someone away, either for safety, as when Cicero sent the young Ciceros to Greece, or to get rid of them, as when he complains of Cato being sent away while he himself was expelled.^(Georges 1913)^(Gaffiot 2016) Tacitus uses it of a man relegated among the Frisii, ''āmendātum in Frīsiōs''.^(Gaffiot 2016)^(Conte 2010) It was also said of things: Cicero writes that nature has removed such things far from the senses.^(Conte 2010) Ammianus Marcellinus has the reflexive, of people who hid themselves away.^(Georges 1913)
